c# - Retrieve Images from sql server database

Question

i am storing images to the database. How to retrieve all the images from the database.

Eg: select images from imagetable

Problem:

Data Logic:

           while (dr.Read())
          {
             ///Check for null
              if (!dr.IsDBNull(0))
             {
                try
                {
                    ///Converting the image into bitmap
                    byte[] photo = (byte[])dr[0];
                    ms = new MemoryStream(photo);
                    Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(ms);
                    bmp[i] = bm;

                    ms.Close();

                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {

                }
            }

ASpx.CS page:

Bitmap[] bm= photos.GetImage();
    for (int i = 0; i < bm.Length; i++)
    {
  MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();

        **bm[i].Save(ms, ImageFormat.Jpeg);**(Error : A generic error occurred in GDI+.)

htmlCode.Append("<li><img ImageUrl="");
htmlCode.Append(**ms.GetBuffer()**);
htmlCode.Append("" alt="" width="100" height="100"></li>");
}

Image not getting displayed

Answer 1

this is an example from Sql Server

        connection.Open();
        SqlCommand command1 = new SqlCommand("select imgfile from myimages where imgname=@param", connection);
        SqlParameter myparam = command1.Parameters.Add("@param", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 30);
        myparam.Value = txtimgname.Text;
        byte[] img = (byte[])command1.ExecuteScalar();
        MemoryStream str = new MemoryStream();
        str.Write(img, 0, img.Length);
        Bitmap bit = new Bitmap(str);
        connection.Close();
